Welcome to Deer Canyon Elementary School

As our mission proclaims, we will work to ensure all of our students develop a love of learning and become highly successful in school, society, and the work place. Through close collaboration, and in partnership with our families and community, we will provide challenging, real life learning opportunities to prepare our students for success in a diverse society and ever-changing world. We will model what we expect so our children become:

Self Directed Learners

Collaborative Team Members

Clear Communicators

Constructive Thinkers and Problem Solvers

Effective Users of Tools and Technology

Responsible Members of Society

It is our vision that Deer Canyon becomes a school where all students have the individual support, encouragement and opportunity they need to achieve academically at very high levels and to develop the personal habits and values which will allow them to be successful both in school and as productive members of our society. To achieve this, we offer a variety of learning experiences to help all students reach their full potential and experience success. We also encourage active involvement, cooperation and communication between the school, child, family, and community.

The teachers and support staff at Deer Canyon believe that a strong academic focus supported by a positive and caring learning environment is essential to student success. Equally important is the emphasis here on developing the whole child through early mental health programs, character development and service learning opportunities. The school climate is truly peaceful with student rights and school rules maintained campus wide.

The strength and commitment of Deer Canyon’s PTA and Foundation are evident in the funding of several special programs in the areas of: music, PE, technology, art, and science, as well as assembly programs, parent education workshops, Partners in Print, study trips and library books.

We welcome you and encourage you to be actively involved in helping to build a community of lifelong learners in which every child succeeds.
